Dads, Dough & DIY: 2 Gift Ideas That Fire Up Father’s Day (Win!)

June 11, 2025

Contests, Holidays

This Father’s Day, skip the socks and surprise the dads, grandpas, or father figures in your life with something that fuels their passions—whether that’s firing up the grill (or pizza oven!) or getting hands-on with heartfelt DIY. Two standout gift ideas are heating things up this year—literally.

For the Dad Who Loves to Create: Cricut Joy Xtra & EasyPress Mini

Whether he’s personalizing his gear, customizing cards, or helping the kids craft something cool, Cricut has the ultimate tools to unleash creativity at home. Right now, from June 8–21, there’s a major Cricut heat press sale happening with select presses up to 70% off at Michaels, Cricut.ca, and participating retailers—perfect timing for Father’s Day gifting.

Cricut Joy Xtra is compact, sleek, and versatile—ideal for DIYers looking to design custom tees, vinyl decals, stickers, and more. It cuts, writes, draws, and foils all in one easy-to-use machine, making it great for small spaces and big ideas.

Pair it with the Cricut EasyPress Mini, a pocket-sized powerhouse for heat transfer designs. It’s perfect for pressing T-shirts, hats, or any tricky areas with seams and buttons. Think custom golf shirts, cheeky socks, or matching dad-kid designs—it’s creativity with heart.

For the Dad Who Owns Pizza Night: Ooni Koda 2 & Koda 2 Pro

With 36% of Canadians dining out less often, at-home culinary experiences are hotter than ever—and for dads who love to cook, entertain, or just craft the perfect pizza, Ooni’s latest ovens are a game-changer.

Just launched, the Ooni Koda 2 and Koda 2 Pro are gas-powered ovens built for speed, heat, and seriously impressive backyard pizza. Bonus? Making pizza at home with an Ooni averages just $7 per pie—a fraction of the $20 price tag for takeout.

Koda 2 ($649 CAD) features a 14″+ cooking area with a newly upgraded burner system for 200% better heat distribution. A thicker pizza stone improves retention and recovery between cooks, so you can feed the whole crew, fast.

Koda 2 Pro ($1099 CAD) takes it even further with an 18″+ cooking surface and more than 30% increased internal capacity. The expanded 160 °C–500 °C range also means Dad can try everything from pizzas to seared steak to cast-iron cinnamon rolls.

Whether you’re cheering on the DIY dad or the guy who takes pizza night seriously, these gifts are thoughtful, fun, and built for making memories. And that’s what Father’s Day is really all about. —Vita Daily

    Guten Morgen, die Halterung meiner Hängelampe über dem Esstisch gab nach, sie schwang gefährlich und drohte herabzustürzen. Nach mehreren misslungenen Reparaturen mit Draht bescherte mir ein Gewinn dank sweety spin das nötige Kleingeld. Für Spieler in Österreich sind die Auszahlungen erfreulich flott, das Geld reichte für eine stabile Deckenbefestigung aus Stahl, die Lampe hängt jetzt bombenfest, und die Abende sind wieder sicher.
